In this vital episode, we sit down with Reverend Dr. Sarita Wilson-Anderson, the Spiritual Care and Social Services Director at a large Children's Hospital. Dr. Anderson's unique dual role gives her profound insight into the emotional and spiritual burdens faced by frontline heroes and their families.

We dive into how frontline grief differs from civilian grief, exploring the unique expressions of sorrow she encounters while supporting families in their most difficult moments. Most importantly, we discuss how the raw emotions of grieving families can transfer onto providers, and Dr. Anderson offers vital wisdom on processing this 'transferred grief' and maintaining empathy without succumbing to burnout.

This is a critical conversation that challenges the status quo, offering powerful insights into why we must dismantle old narratives and embrace vulnerability as a path to healing.
